Bad Habit Carbon 1
- 2019

Details

Completely re-designed for 2019, the Bad Habit features fresh, progressive geometry and the new Proportional Response suspension design for maximum fun on any trail, anywhere. With a design that maximizes its shredding abilities and a high-performance parts spec, it's designed to be your go-to trail bike. The frame features a tapered headtube, tube-in-tube internal cable routing, and a two-piece alloy linkage that keeps the suspension moving smoothly. The Lockr thru-axle pivot system creates a rock-solid connection between both sides of the swingarm and the main frame for instantaneous response with no flex. To protect the frame from chain slap when carrying speed through rough terrain, a rubber cover is integrated into the drive side chainstay. With proper wide bars, a short stem, powerful brakes, a 1X drivetrain and, of course, a dropper post, the Bad Habit is built to tame unruly trails everywhere.

The Bad Habit Carbon 1 pairs a BallisTec carbon front triangle with a SmartForm C1 alloy swingarm. These are joined with a performance suspension package from Fox: up front, a Fox Float Performance 34 fork with grip damper, 3 ride settings, and a tapered steerer provides 140mm of plush travel, while the rear Float Performance DPS Evol shock serves up 130mm of suspension for ultimate capability. The bike features a wide-range SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur with NX shifters for fast, precise, and reliable shifting. SRAM Guide R hydraulic disc brakes dish out plenty of braking power and modulation so you can push your limits a little farther, knowing you've got enough braking power to reel it back. For wheels, it pairs wide, tubeless-ready WTB ST i35 TCS rims with Formula boost hubs resulting in a strong, stiff wheelset. Maxxis Rekon 2.8-inch tires take the traction up a notch, along with 3C compound for extra grip and EXO casing for added puncture protection. A Cannondale DownLow dropper post with internal routing further increases this bike's capability in technical terrain. Head out on your next adventure knowing Bad Habit will carry you through.
